iSpy with my little “i”…
I’ve never been a fan of webcams or video conferencing. It’s not that I’m against the idea of video cameras, I’ve just never quite understood the appeal. What’s so great about seeing a friend just after they’ve woken up in the morning? I’d rather wait until the person’s had a chance to comb their hair and wipe the crud out of their eyes. And I’ve always been frustrated by the refresh rates for webcams. It seems that more often than not, you end up looking at the side of someone’s head, or up their nose, or at their backside as they get up to walk away. What’s so interesting? And why would I want to share my most unattractive/stupidest candid faces with the world? Up until now, I’ve been stumped.
But yesterday, I changed my mind. Yesterday, we got an iSight.
Girls and their Gadgets …

The chick digs her gadgets. She may not watch television but accessorized with a mobile phone, a PDA, and a swanky-cool iBook, the girl is definitely in touch with her gizmo gene. Not to mention the whole wireless network she put together for us.
However, it ends up that with all these new-fangled doohickeys at her disposal, it is a piece of old-school technology that has become her newest obsession… a Macintosh Classic. They’re not just for fish anymore.
